When big emotions take over, kids need more than reassurance...they need a plan
 
If you’ve ever sat with a child who says, “I don’t know why I feel this way,” you know how powerless it can feel, for them and for you.
 
This CBT Journal was designed to change that. Created for children aged 10 to 15, this resource helps kids unpack negative thoughts, understand emotional patterns, and respond with confidence — not confusion.
 
It starts with simple, therapist-developed activities that introduce core CBT ideas in a way kids actually relate to. No jargon. No lectures. Just real conversations and practical reflection.
Then, it moves into a structured journal format, where children track automatic thoughts, identify triggers, and apply the strategies they’ve learned in everyday situations.
 
You’ll get:
✔️ A rollercoaster-themed story to explain the thoughts-feelings-behaviours link
✔️ Easy-to-print journal pages for ongoing practice
✔️ Three appendices including therapist scripts, reusable templates, and extra tools to keep the work going beyond the session
 
Whether you’re using it in therapy or at home, this journal gives kids language for what they’re feeling, and a roadmap for what to do next. It’s not just a workbook — it’s a step toward emotional independence.
